Where did you see any political implications in a post comparing three vastly different players. One being Mr. Hockey, the other being one of the hardest hitting blue liners in NHL history, and the last being a mediocre hockey player who has a penchant for delivering dangerous cheap shots.

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:20:15 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340702#comment-366388titansbro – Was Matt Cooke controlling Hunwick by remote control or something when Hunwick smashed Savard’s head into the boards almost an entire year after Cooke hit him? I get that you don’t like Cooke, and I’m not especially fond of some of the hits he’s thrown including the hit on Savard, but come on, facts are facts…

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:54:24 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340702#comment-366377titansbro has it nailed.

— Savard is still getting paid for his last contract (and will be through 2016-17, even if he’s getting the league minimum in those last 2 years). He’s also eligible for a pension through the NHLPA by virtue of having played over 400 NHL games. Moore was in the final year of his contract at the time he was hurt, and was 331 games shy of being eligible for an NHLPA pension – and there’s no proof that no one was going to sign him after the ’03-04 season (claims to the contract be damned).

— Cooke’s hit, while reprehensible, can at least be passed off as a hockey play. Nothing in the game of hockey justifies what Bertuzzi did – and no, Moore’s “cheap shot on Naslund” (which Naslund admitted was (a) clean, and (b) Naslund’s fault for putting himself in an unnecessarily vulnerable position) doesn’t qualify. If we’re going down that road, every “you hit one of our stars and knocked him out of the lineup” incident justifies the player being attacked from behind.

— Another thing to consider: Savard can’t point to the hit by Cooke and say, “if not for that hit, I’d still be playing hockey” because he went on to play more games (and suffer at least 2 more concussions before he was forced to call it quits). Without those final two concussions, it’s possible Savard is still playing today. It’s pretty easy for Moore to point to what Bertuzzi did and say, “that forced me out of the game for good.”

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:42:11 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340702#comment-366372Yes, it was Anaheim that offered Moore the 2-way contract – and yes, he never would have passed the physical required. Did Burke offer it trying to mitigate Vancouver’s exposure? As good as it sounds, it’s speculation without facts – but certainly we’ve all learned not to underestimate Burke’s intentions on anything.

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:07:38 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340702#comment-366365I don’t like Cooke either, & I do think that POS, dirty coward killed Savard’s career. But it is way different than what Bertuzzi did to Moore. At least Cooke’s cheapshot could sort’ve be seen as a hockey play, Bertuzzi’s could never be seen that way. And as baffling as it is, Moore’s hit wasn’t even against the rules at the time. Hard to really go after a guy (legally anyway) for a play that’s within the rules of the game.

The other thing is, Savard is still getting paid… a lot. He would have no legal basis to claim he had a financial hit, at least not right now.

Howe was very well known for throwing his elbow into opponents faces, and Stevens is well known for taking guys out of the game period. Maybe you need to learn your hockey history…

the bottom line is that justice will ‘never’ be served until such time that Bertuzzi suffers the same wrongs himself … and given time, God willing they will …

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 03:05:41 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340702#comment-366325That incident changed the way Bert plays ever since. Besides we’ll never know if the coach(at the time) had anything to do with the way it played out. And I don’t believe we ever will.

Now the current Commissioner(Bettman) has made it so CRYBABIES like Cindy Crosby can play. I bet Cindy couldn’t even take a check from Gordie without running home CRYING to MOMMY!!!

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:05:51 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340702#comment-366307My point is that the hits that Cooke and Stevens and Howe did on a regular basis were LEGAL at the time. Tell me that the hits on Lindros and Kariya would not be multiple game suspensions in today’s game.

You are missing my point, I want to see those hits in the game – keep your head up meant something back in the day.

What is your point exactly? That you don’t like Matt Cooke?

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:04:31 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340702#comment-366306The end of Moore’s career by an ILLEGAL hit/punch by Bertuzzi should have had a harsher action by the league I would hope the settlement takes care of him(Moore) and his family for the rest of his life. The incident will remain a black eye for the league for the foreseeable future.
